Shared database between two computers

[Maik Qualmann]

I'm guessing they have a different root path to the collection on the second 
computer. This means that the collection was scanned and created twice in the 
database. If the face information is only in the DB, then of course you won't 
see it. Since digiKam-8.x.x it is possible to add several alternative root 
paths to an existing network path.
